2 DIRE ONG I ORE AINE GLAND PRON BLACKSTOCK VILLAGE HAS BALL 4 Years Laie --- Bui F BLACKSTOCK (Staff) -- This tiny village community (popu- lation 500) held its Centennial Fair on Saturday -- and it was all a mistake, : In fact the fair organizers should have thrown their Cen- tennial celebration back in 1961. Until recently the first re- corded Blackstock Fair was held in 1865, Then someone took a close look at the records of the Up- per Canada Agricultural Society and found out that a Blackstock Fair was held in 1861, The discovery, unfortunately, was made only a few months ago, when plans for the Cen- tennial celebrations were well underway. 'LOTS OF SAPS' "I guess we should have had the Centennial four years ago," explained fair organizer Victor Malcolm. "But it doesn't mat- ter really. Tracing the village records is difficult work. There are a lot of gaps. "We keep at it and: keep picking up new facts, You know see as eat area air Huge Success Carol-Ann Tidey led the fair parade down the main street of the town in a convertible, Her main duty of the day, however, was the judging of the Centennial beard growing con- test. For weeks in advance the menfolk of the town had care- fully tended huge, bushy beards, 12 BEARDS Some of the contestants drop- ped out after complaints by wives and girl friends, A hardy dozen, however, made it to the line, Outright winner, and there didn't seem to be much 'doubt about it, was village store- keeper Harold Martyn, $50 CHEQUE Dressed in Victorian top hat and tails Mr, Martyn collected a $50 cheque for his efforts, Second place winner went to Hank Buma and third place prize to Roy Werry. "Anyone know where I can get some razor blades," com- mented a happy Harold Martyn. In an action filled day there the name of this village has been changed more than a couple of times. This doesn't help research," Mistake or not the annual vil-| lage fair was a rollicking suc-, cess. Everything went according to plans except the weather, which was miserable, A cold blustery wind blew across the fairgrounds through- out the day, Even so, well over 3000 people, a record attend- ance, came to join in the fun, Gate receipts were up over 300, "I think we have all got colds} after that wind," said Mr. Malcolm, "but we are all very happy with the fair. It was a tremendous success, Everything went off according to plan." ACTION-PACKED There was certainly an action- packed program laid on for the spectators who sat huddled be- neath mountains of blankets in the showground stand. A real sight for sore eyes was the appearance of Miss Carol- Ann Tidey, the Hamilton girl who won the 1965 Miss Domin- ion of Canada crown, Wrapped up against the wind,| was something for everyone. Melon eating contests kept the kids busy for a better part of the afternoon, The Oshawa Bar WL Riders entertained for most of the afternoon with some fancy horsemanship. There were log chopping con- tests, livestock and horse com- petitions and a display by the Oshawa Antique Club, SMALL MIDWAY To one side was a small mid- way with a wide selection of rides and games. Candy floss and toffee apples were to be found everywhere, Harness racing events pro- duced a colorful and exciting spectacle as the riders hurtled around the short circuit, Inside were the- agricultural and fruit growing -exhibits, Prizes were small but competi- tion strong among the many competitors. In the evening a banquet was thrown by the ladies of the Blackstock United Church. Dur- ing the evening, prizes to the beard growers and the host of other winners were presented by Miss Canada. An old lawn mower en gine, a couple of bicycle wheels a plank of wood and voila -- the Spirit of Black- stock, The ingenious device was invented by 16-year-old Jim Cranagham for the Blackstock Centennial Fair parade on Saturday. The machine covered half the length of the parade route before running out of steam, Left pioneer Harold Martyn (left) and sidekick Roy Werry guide their covered wagon to the fairgrounds, The wagon took weeks to piece together.

SLOW Police Think Heart Attack -- Caused First Ajax Fatality Planning Director G, A, Wandless said the parcel now zoned R-2, for duplexes, would require re-zoning to R-4 for apartments and C-1 for three blocks the the shopping centre. The proposal calls for three apartment blocks with 523, 169 and 276 units, 460 town houses, 150 single family dwellings and two parks, 10.8 acres and eight acres, "We're willing to consider the plan if the overall density is not greater than it would be if DOWN speeding traffic.

The planning staff has been working with the developer and the city engineering department and 'we've told the developer we don't want the town houses," said Mr, Wandless. KEEP DENSITY DOWN "Because pumping _ stations are required to handle ser'v- ices, we want to keep the dens- ity down," he said. He added that only tentative proposals for the subdivision have been submitted by F. Ty Developments, which has an option on the Conant property, "We have no plan of sub- division yet," he said.
